Pretty cool!  What is the name of the restaurant in Colorado Springs?

Thanks JohnInCarolina! It's called Carbonella 

i'm the Springs a couple times a month - will make a point of stopping in and telling them you sent me.

Great post my friend, beautiful all around.


Glad to see Molrico's flourishing.
Starting a food biz takes big cajones.
So much love and respect for those two.

Would love to take my son and tent out there, when he gets a tick older.  Seems like you had an epic, breathtaking trip.

I figured it was Molly and Enrico. I tasted their food when they came to the FL minifest. Their lasagna was the best I have ever tasted. Lucky you to get to try their restaurant.

@Florida Grillin Girl Ripnem buddy Brian said it has ruined lasagna for him. He said he hasn't had lasagna in the last 4 years because he knows it going to be a let down 

@WeberWho, tell Brian to see recipe I posted above. Pretty sure that's the same as at frozen fest. Looks like a lotta work though.

Thanks Focker! It's great to see them doing well. They just recently moved into a bigger place. 

It was my first time out in Colorado other than switching planes in the airport. We stayed in a town called Nederland just outside Boulder. A little hippie town. Way different than any places we'd find around here. Your son and you would really enjoy the mountains when he gets a little older. Camping would have been awesome out there.

Brian owns an egg but I don't think he branches too far out other than the typical burger, brats, steaks, etc. One of the funniest people I've ever met. The life of the party at Frozen Fest. I just can't see him taking the time to make it.

Nederland is a hard core hippy enclave for sure, but good solid folks that would give you the stinky shirt right off their filthy back.

Nederland is an interesting place for sure. Beautiful but the people can be a little different.  Google "frozen dead guy days" and it will tell you all you need to know.  Next time I'm in Colorado springs I'll check out the restaurant, I had no clue it was there. Thanks for the recommendation.

Haha. I just found out today that my coworkers step dad grew up in Nederland. Small world.

Thanks for the info @rockymountaineggster That's hilarious. I wish I would have known this prior. I just finished up watching the youtube video Wikipedia had on Dead Guy Days. So bad it's awesome!

I definitely recommend swinging in and grabbing some pasta. If they have the lasagna it's outstanding. I believe the menu changes daily. You won't be disappointed whatever you get!

How were the brownies?

Haha! The owner of the airbnb we stayed at had plants growing up stairs. 
Most of these hippies aren't going and buying brownies. That's not green. Or is it?
